dictionary – el diccionario

To remember that dictionary is pronounced deek-syoh-nah-ryoh (diccionario) in Latin American Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

I checked the dictionary for the right word, and I declare that the man I see over there is a nasty lothario (diccionario).

I checked in the dictionary for the correct word and declare my theory correct, that nasty man is a lothario (diccionario)

Diccionario is masculine, so it's el diccionario. Imagine an elephant looking up the word trunk in a dictionary.
